Discover the complex world of leveraged and inverse ETFs with Wall Street veteran Matt Markiewicz from TradrETFs, who brings 27 years of industry insight to the table. Get ready to unravel the intricacies behind these financial instruments designed for short-term amplified returns, and understand why they may not be the best fit for long-term investments. Matt, with his extensive experience at iShares and beyond, shares how smaller players like TradrETFs navigate a space dominated by giants like BlackRock and Vanguard, offering unique perspectives and innovative strategies.

Our conversation sheds light on common misconceptions about leveraged products, likening leverage to financial tools we use every day, such as mortgages, while highlighting the need for caution, particularly amid market volatility. We explore the dynamics of the ETF industry, where understanding daily resets and compounding effects becomes crucial for effective investment management. Matt also delves into the mechanics of ETFs, including the use of swaps for leverage and the significance of diversifying counterparties to mitigate risks during financial downturns.

Looking to the future, Matt presents new horizons for ETFs beyond equities, especially in treasury investments. TradrETFs is pioneering new paths by offering products that aim to deliver consistent leveraged returns over a month, aligning with longer-term investment goals. From semiconductor exposure to international investor needs, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice for both seasoned investors and those new to leveraged ETFs.
